From the Pen of Poe...

[Dragonrain]

Quick question: Are those black things Kirby's nails? Or are they nail covers? Just curious!

I think they are nail covers, right? I've been looking into getting them for my puppy. He likes to climb up on us all the time and we have the scratches to prove it! How do they work (if that's them)? My sister got them for her cat and said she didn't like them.

Poe is adooorable! I love baby bunnies, haven't had a baby bunner around here since 2006 when we got Zeus. The pictures of him with Kirby are soo cute!

No photos today. Just an update to say that he is nibbling EVERYTHING!!!!!

Each of the kids took turns in the pen with him this evening. Every time Poe hopped on top of them and tried to dig or nibble at their clothing, the kids gently put him off of them or pushed him gently away from their clothing. Every time he sat nicely on them or near them, they pet him and gave him love.

I don't know if he learned anything, but if we keep at it, hopefully he will!

I trim his nails and then put a little of the glue into the nail cap, then slide it onto his nail. He has lost one this week....not too bad. I get them so he doesn't annoy the hubby so much on the hardwood floors. Cats retract their claws, so I can't see them being as successful for them. I could be wrong there, though.

I don't see it - where are the nail covers?

Poe is so adorable. He and Kirby look like they are getting along swell!

He makes me want to go get a mini rex! Bunny napping!

The black things on his nails. They just look a little more bulky than a "natural" nail. I notice odd things like that (ADHD :biggrin2. Plus, Kirby has white toes, so I would assume that he has clear/pink nails naturally.

I thought they where originally designed for cats? I know cats retract their claws but they are suppose to still work for them. Actually my sister said she didn't like them because some of them fell off to quickly and she didn't want to have to keep replacing them, so it wasn't really a problem with them not working, just my broke sister not wanting to have to keep buying them lol.

Well, that's what I was thinking, too. I would think they would slip off as the cat retracted its claws. You'd have to be sure to get the exact size right for them to be able to go under the skin with the nail.

Grandma gave a large oatmeal canister to Poe to play with and tonight was its introduction into the play pen.

Poe got interested immediately and dove right in!

Cute bunny bottom photos!!!

Checking out the boy...

back to the canister

Hey! Why aren't you two in here with me???

And a final bum shot!

Those photo's of Poe in the canister are to cute. I like the photo of Poe and his boy as well.

I miss Mini-Rex shenanigans!

I just adore Poe! I love how inquisitive babies are. I can't remember how old Poe is. When will he ready for his neuter?

 

[Elf Mommy]

You know, that's a good question. I don't know Poe's exact birthday. Maybe Cathy can tell us?

He should be ready in about another 4 weeks. As soon as his testicles drop you can make an appointment.

We'll keep an eye out and let you know!
